Oh MomofWildChild, I’m so sorry to hear about your D’s adorable kitten. She must be beside herself! I must admit that I momentarily freaked when I read your post. I’ve been thinking seriously about adopting a Ragdoll kitten (that “going limp” thing they tend to do sounds sweet and amusing). I’ve read quite a bit about the breed, and they sound like my kind of cat—very social, laid back and sweet tempered.

Is it possible that this paralysis is somehow genetic, and related to the Ragdoll’s tendency to go limp when picked up? Has your breeder experienced anything like this before?
